What is the Centillion 1200N Switch?

The Centillion 1200N is a compact desktop 2.5 Gbps ATM Switch.

At the core is an input/output buffer switch that realizes a 2.5 Gbps nonblocking

throughput. The ATM Switch can accommodate up to four lines of 622 Mbps

interface conforming to the ATM Forum and ITU-T recommendations and up to 16

lines of 155 Mbps interface.

XATOM (eXpandable ATM Output Modular Switch), the core of the ATM Switch,

is equipped with a large-capacity buffer to ensure the smooth flow of multimedia

traffic and provide a powerful support to multimedia communications.

The ATM Switch supports both fixed path, or permanent virtual connections

(PVC), and variable path, or switched virtual connections (SVC), and features such

functions as ATM cell priority control, congestion control, and traffic monitoring.

In addition, by using the SNMP protocol, the ATM Switch can interface with a

network management system (NMS).

Features

The ATM Switch is a desktop ATM switch used for such applications as LAN-to-

LAN connection. The ATM Switch serves as the core of an ATM users' network.

The features of the ATM Switch are described below.

■

Realizes 2.5 Gbps throughput

As the ATM Switch employs an output buffer type ATM switch with a

random access input-output buffer, it realizes high-capacity switching at a

high-speed total throughput of 2.5 Gbps of maximum switching capacity (at

155 Mbps × 16 lines maximum). Consequently, the ATM Switch can be used

to build a high-speed multimedia network.

■

Has redundant configuration

Redundant configuration of power unit ensures high reliability.

■

Accommodates various ATM lines

The ATM Switch can interface various ATM lines by accommodating both

optical lines and metallic lines, different throughputs, and different protocols.

Because the ATM Switch is equipped with interfaces for various ATM lines, it

can be used for a wide range of multimedia applications depending on the

need.

■

Structure of the ATM Switch

With its compact dimensions, the ATM Switch can be placed on a desktop or

on a standard 19-inch rack. To facilitate on-site maintenance after the

operation begins, the ATM Switch is designed to allow service access from

the front of each unit.

■

Supports various connection functions

As the ATM Switch supports both fixed connections (PVCs) and switch

connections (SVCs), it provides various connection formats.

■

Connections may be set to one of five levels of control priority

❑

Total management of network

Because the ATM Switch is equipped with a network management agent

function based on SNMP, it can be managed along with such LAN products

as routers and hubs.

■

Traffic control

When competition occurs in sending out cells, this traffic control function

prevents the cell with a higher priority from being delayed or discarded.

Each connection may be set to one of five levels of control priority.

■

Supports PNNI Ver.1.0

The ATM Switch is the world's first ATM switch to support PNNI Ver.1.0 that

conforms to the ATM Forum. This ensures that network construction is made

simple.

■

Provides server function

By installing a server card (option) in the line card slot, the ATM Switch can

be used as a LAN emulation server or an ARP server.

■

Total management of network

As the ATM Switch is equipped with a network management agent function

based on SNMP, it can be managed along with such LAN products as routers

and hubs.

■

Interworking with other types of networks

Interworking between ATM network and other types of networks can be

realized by installing an interworking line card (Frame Relay card FR-DS1)

and a Circuit Emulation card (CE-DS1) in the ATM Switch.

LAN-to-LAN Connection

ATM Switch is used as the backbone network of a router (IP45) or a switching hub

(ATM Switch 3) for interworking such LANs as Ethernet, Token Ring, and FDDI.

In this case, the throughout is 2.5 Gbps.

A router or a switching hub with an ATM interface may be connected directly to

ATM Switch. Those without an ATM interface may be connected to the ATM

Switch via DSU.

ATM-LAN

By installing ATM-NIC on a PC (Personal Computer)/WS (Work Station) and

using ATM Switch, the LAN built with Ethernet, etc., can be used as an ATM-

LAN with maximum throughput of 2.5 Gbps.
